Pukepuke ‘O Tonga, performance three, LIANZA Conference 2019

Pukepuke ‘O Tonga (POT) translates to “hold onto” or “to uphold” Tonga and focuses on preserving Tongan culture and heritage through dance and music. POT is a suite of historic Tongan dances dating from 1200AD recovered and arranged by the Pusiaki family to ensure they will not be lost. Each dance has its own songs and rhythms, beautifully delivered by the dancers in a village setting.
